That's because the video capability isn't advertised as a feature and so the cable doesn't have the relevant pins to output video from an iOS device.So the cable that comes with it does not do the job? Looking in the accessories brochure there only seems to be one cable available so you would think that that would do the job and be the one that came with the car.
The guy who added a video about playing movie from iPod at Youtube also use the second cable. But I couldn't find it at Ebay or anywhere else.
Here's a couple:

Found one on Amazon with a review from a Leon owner: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Volkswagen-Golf-Mark-Collar-000051446M/dp/B00CDMZLZC
You need a red collar cable for video to work apparently.
What is a "red collar cable" and do you know where you can you get them? I'm collecting my new Leon FR TSI1.8 DSG 5-Door on Friday and I would like to check if I can play videos from my iPod Classic connected to the Media System Plus system.
What cables did everyone's car come with? The media plus system says its compatible with aux, usb, and iphone so did everyone get 3 cables?
I think 2, that's what mine came with
The aux is just a connection point in the glove box requires just a 3.5mm jack lead so does not come with the car
The other 2 do come supplied as they are special fitment on the car end I.E. not something you would pick up in pc world
Anyway that's what I got and is my take on it
Any advance on 2 supplied leads? Anyone lol
Cheers, I don't remember seeing the aux port in the car I test drove, just the MDI port. I will add to my list of delivery checks.
I think there are some cars (maybe S spec) which come with just a USB port and 3.5 AUX IN, no MDI port. I swear I've seen photos of it. I could be wrong though.

In the manual it mentions the logos will be added automatically if they are in the database.
Has anybody got this to work yet?
